Thanks, I'll have to check it out then!
I haven't played that many since I tend to avoid them but The Incident is the only tilt control game on iOS I actually enjoyed for a considerable amount of time. I stil mean to try Knightmare Tower though, just not at $2.99.
Yeah, it's very charming. I'm at the final 5 stages and got 3 stars in all the previous ones. Glad I got it during the sale.

I'm only 10 or 11 levels deep, but it keeps prompting me to pay to unlock certain plants from the first game.
Do these become available via regular play later in the game, or are some plants permanently behind the pay wall?

Those plants are only available by buying them, but you can finish the game without them.

Rats, thanks. So far the game seems pretty easy so I'm hoping the challenge increases once you get out of Egypt.

Not actually that important
Kid Tripp looks AWESOME.
Does it control as well as Mickey Hooks?
edit: took one for the team:
You actually don't control the left/right movement, the kid auto walks in a sidescrolling adventure similar to the Rayman Jungle Run's kind of the auto runners. It's not the usual runner tho (thank god), think Bit Trip Runner. It reminds me of Wonder Boy 1 (SEGA's arcade version), you control the jumps, sprint and can throw rocks at enemies and you have a limited number of lives and coins to collect like the old classic platformers. Level design is pretty brilliant, which you'll realize in full when going for collect 'em all runs: timed jumps will put the spotlight on the enemies/platforms/etc movement and how they're perfectly laid out for high risk = high reward jump mechanics. Kid Tripp runs at 60fps, looks super cute, leaderboards based... And I had difficulty in passing World 1-5... be prepared cause the game is FREAKISHLY HARD! I enjoy challenging games but this is something else, holy fuck! I have to say that I also love how the game makes it really easy to go back to previously beaten levels to try to collect all the coins and achieve the 100% clear medals: it really flows as far as a stop&go mode and makes it much more enjoyable to just try to survive the levels in the main "survival" mode and only after that I'd advise you try to collect everything in the specific LEVELS section.
No IAPS whatsoever, 99c, Universal and a whole 7 MEGABYTES of space needed on your iDevice!

So I was reading the Gamezebo review for Kid Tripp
A 4/5 and this was the only negative:
So is that what cost the game an extra point? Now I've seen this in reviews for other high difficulty games as well, why is precision/ high/ hardcore difficulty considered a con or negative by some reviewers? I never understood that. Is IOS gaming still considered predominantly "casual"?

Someone "in the hardcore gamer community NeoGAF" must just suck at PvZ then.
Not at all. I played through it on an iPhone 5 and didn't have one problem with it. Great game, no problems with the port.
Was eyeing this for the OP a while back but didn't find any impressions I trusted at the time. I'll revisit it.

So, you actually don't control the left/right movement and while that was a bummer at first since I'm sick of runners, thanks god it really isn't one of them per se: while the kid auto walks left to right, it's what I'd call a sidescrolling adventure similar to the Rayman Jungle Run's kind of the auto runners.

The game makes it really easy to go back to levels to collect all the medals, it really flows as far as a stop&go mode: it auto restarts the level until you've actually completed the goal to collect every coin and after that it auto selects the next level where you're still missing the collect-all-coins medal; this makes it much more enjoyable to just try to survive the levels in the main mode and after that try to collect everything in the specific LEVELS section.

Just discovered this little but awesome game, The Incident. Stuff falls from the sky and you must avoid it, sounds lame but it's really exciting.
Right now it's free so give it a try!
It's a really fun game, was going to recommend it when it went free. Cool graphics and sharp gameplay, love gems like that.

Didn't realise the sequel to Smash Cops was announced / is out in select territories: Smash Bandits
I quite enjoyed Smash Cops (the non-freemium version), I wonder how this turns out, the trailer looks fun.

Talking about the Impossible game and hard platformers, I'd recommend Geometry Dash.
Only cons are the levels are kind of long and there are no checkpoints. Dev is working on that and the user levels are more manageable.
It's almost like Beat Sneak in that you're tapping to the rhythm to avoid obstacles

Kid Tripp or Another World?
Can't really compare the two, apart from both being "you'll die alot" games.
Another World you can finish in an hour if you know what you're doing. Love the game, an absolute classic. If you haven't played it I recommend it.
Kid Tripp is tons of fun too, but a completely different kind of game.

Only have $0.99, why I was asking. I'll probably get Tripp

Oh shit, pretty cool but please update it with my revised version lol. Reading all those typos and shitty grammar on the OP was fucking embarrassing
should be at the very least readable now, lolNice one, glad you enjoy it

I'd go for Another World if you've never experienced it. After all AW is also on a limited sale, Kid Tripp will always be there for you at 99c. Also, as charming as Kid Tripp is you can find similar experiences on iOS and you prolly already own a couple of them, while after 20 years there's still nothing out there like Another World.
Sure, you've got to be one of those guys like me who enjoys game "experiences" and don't mind trial and error gameplay for the sake of breathtaking visual storytelling. I mean, the game is old and you can't hold it to the same standards of current games, but even then I can say with confidence that AA's charm and punchiness has been hardly replicated, ever.

Has Dot Space Hero been recommended here?
It's gotten great user impressions on Toucharcade. Been out since June but I think it's getting more recognition now. It's like a mix of Jetpack Joyride and a SHUMP, with a fantastic art style and leaderboards
$0.99 and no IAP. Here's a trailer.

What, and censor the heat of the moment feels? No way!
Done
Thanks. Will try redownloading it again.
At the end of the level it does to white, freezes, and after a few seconds the app crashes
Guys I'm such an idiot, drunken bought 2 song bundles for DJ MAX ray, 4.50 each... and since I had nothing on my account it will probably lock up again, ugh. teh stupidity.
Fantastic game though, easily one of my favourites on iOS though I wish it was bit more polished, still no widescreen support, graphics on iPod 4g bit choppy but that music and gameplay... a must buy for a music game fan. I never got too much into Konami releases.

LOL fair enough
there's still some old parts on there, WHY?! Didn't check everything else but "A WHOLE 7 MB" is "A WHOPPING" in my post.... what a slacker you are, my friend
Btw, I HATE THE INCIDENT!
I remember couple of years ago I was so pissed to have wasted almost 4 on that crap just cause I was fascinated with the gfx.
YMMV tho, it's a pretty well liked game and I don't like 99.9% of iOS' tilt based games.

Pulled the trigger on Pirate Legends.
Was already disappointed in the art style (I mean, it's detailed and elaborate and well animated but it lacks the charm of Kingdom Rush), and then I unlocked the first hero and it was like kiiiiiind of a racist caricature.
Feels bad man.

I straight up copy/pasted what was in your post this morning (which was "Last edited by Dash Kappei; Yesterday at 11:48 PM").
your post and the OP still says "No IAPS whatsoever, 99c, Universal and a whole 7 MEGABYTES of space needed on your iDevice!" I'm not sure which side-dimension you're browsing.

Woa, Worms 3 online multiplayer is so shitty that it made me uninstall the game.
How do I still trust on something that comes from Team17 is just puzzling.

I like this game, thanks for the heads up. I really play Jetpack Joyride a ton, so I'm disappointed that this game doesn't handle as well - it takes some getting used to. Other than that, it's very fun. Man, the grading system on this thing is HARSH though. Missed 1 clump of stardust? ONE STAR FOR YOU.
Highly anticipating this one, have been since it was first announced late last year.
FTL meets Mass Effect meets gorgeous fucking art!

Got Kid Tripp and I am not disappointed. It has the Super Hexagon aspect that gets you into a zone while playing. On 1-3, almost beat that one in one try! Tight controls, smooth platforming, and a challenging test of timing and reflex.
Definitely worth 0.99
Just found out about this interesting looking game
Game of Watchcraft, iPad Only by a new indie company called LCDemakes
Its a cross between old school Nintendo Game & Watches and World of Warcraft. I've not downloaded it yet but at 69p it seems worth a punt.

you even quoted the post! above there's you quoting my post which says "whopping", that's the correct one for the OP btw this is so stupid, I'm sorry man!
btw this is so stupid, I'm sorry man! Pocket tactics has an article on a cool spy network management game currently in development for iOS. The game just entered alpha status. Here are some choice quotes:
This following quote reminded me of something Pitta mentioned recently:
Alan Wake Team Lead?
Lead Designer worked on Quantum Break?
Name dropped Civilization, XCOM, Agricola, and King of Dragon Pass?
Is this real life?

Was looking for games online and stumbled across Dwarf Fortress. Very old school, but sounds like it has incredible depth
I was wondering if there are any games like it for IOS? Should be able to run on iPhone 4

Stumbled across this game on Pockettactics
All Glory to the Pixel King!
Looks fun, has anyone played?

Had to delete Badland to make space, but now I'm playing again. Second time around, game reminds me a lot of Grim Joggers.
Anyone ever play that? Endless 20-person runner, tons of gruesome deaths
